List of MIchael Gainer's Reviews
I made an appointment with Dr. Gainer for a painful bump on my right wrist. As soon as the nurse called me she told me that I had to take x-rays before I could see the doctor. Then Dr. Gainer came in and took a really quick look at my wrist (1 minute) and told me that there was nothing that he could do for me unless I wanted to have surgery. He didn't give me any alternative solutions. He didn't even talk about the x-rays that they made me do. If I'm going to pay for the x-rays then I want to see them and have the doctor go over them. This was the worst exeperience of my life with a doctor! 100% waste of my time and money. I found out my info about my wrist online then I did from Dr. Gainer. Honestly, there are so many doctors out there DO NOT see this doctor. He doesn't take his time and really doesn't care to help. I think he's just there to collect his huge paycheck. I will be telling everyone I can about me horrible experience with Dr Gainer at Iowa Ortho.

Made an appointment for a painful bump on my right wrist. Right away the nurse told me that I had to get x-rays done before I could see the doctor. Then Dr. Gainer came in and took a quick look and told me that there was nothing to do about my wrist. He only talked about surgery. He didn't give me any alternative solutions. He didn't even talk about the x-rays that they made me have done nor did he show me the x-rays. If I'm going to pay for the x-rays, then I want to see the x-rays and have the doctor explain them to me. WORST experience of my life with a doctor. 100% waste of my time and money. I found out more info about my wrist problem on Youtube, then I did from Dr. Gainer. I will be telling everyone about my horrible experience with Dr. Gainer at Iowa Ortho.

This was the worst experience of my life with a doctor. He should not be seeing patients. 100% waste of my time and my money! I found out more info online then I did from Dr. Gainer. If you want a doctor to listen and take the time to really help you, THEN DO NOT SEE DR. GAINER. I will be telling as many people as I can about Dr. Gainer and Iowa Ortho.

I first saw Dr. Gainer when he came to the Boone County Hospital many years ago. He did carpal tunnel surgery on my wrist and I was very satisfied with the results of the surgery and the scar was impossible to find after it healed! My husband had a very painful trigger finger that was frozen in place and his surgery was done quickly and he's very grateful that it hasn't happened to another finger! We have advised others to go to him ans we won't go to anyone else for treatment of our hands!

Was referred by both primary care doctor and physical therapist after a car accident. Dr Ganier spent less then a minute with me. Bent my fingers, said I had arthritis, and said "why are you here?" Said to do exercises but would not give any recommendations when I ask for suggestions. Felt like I was wasting his time. It was a total waste of my time!!!

Dr. Gainer knows what he is doing, explains the surgery, and meets you right before surgery. He is kind, answered all of my questions, let me take pictures of my x-rays too! Highly recommend Dr. Gainer!

Answered all my questions. I am so happy to be able to use my thumb again without pain. I wish I had gone to see him sooner. Overall nice and to the point. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. He tells you what needs to be done and he does it

Because of the hand injections due to arthritis, Dr. Gainer assures this 70+-year-old BMX racer continues to maintain my grip on my handlebars, enabling me to keep that competitive edge in my 56 & Over Women's Cruiser Class. Thank you Dr. Gainer.

The platforms we selected are Google, WebMD, Yelp, HealthGrades, Facebook, RateMDs, and Vitals.
